You’re a burglar, BUT you can only steal…

… things that mildly inconvenience your victim.

what are you taking?

I’m stealing the fronts to all your freezer drawers, and the clips closing your packs of open frozen veg…

I saw this on FB and the comments were hilarious. I’m sure Vipers can do waaaay better!

over to you!

Lighthearted, btw. Just in case the heat gets to anyone and it’s not obvious

@SpikyHatePotato that is tied with the freezer drawers for most evil.

The lids to all your toiletries and cleaning products.

one leg from your kitchen table.

your radiator bleeding key and the latch on the loft hatch.

your spare batteries.

any takeaway leaflets stuck on your fridge door.

The wicks from all the candles.

DoncasterHombre · 19/07/2022 16:34

Every single button, zip and fastening device on every single item of clothing alongside all the leggings, jeggings and gym wear. Not because I have a fetish for such things, only to inconvenience you.

And I'm taking your string too. All of it. There will be no trousers tied up with string. I'll take all safety pins as well.

iklboo · 19/07/2022 16:36

All their left shoes.

BruceAndNosh · 19/07/2022 16:38

A lot of these are much more than mildly inconvenient!

Steal The lids from fizzy drink bottles so that the contents becomes just "drink"
Steal the decent sharp knife and leave the crap ones.
Steal the cat food but leave the hungry cat.

BruceAndNosh · 19/07/2022 16:40

Steal the front door bell when you've taken a day off work to wait in for a scheduled delivery

All pet food bowls (but will leave the food) and any saved takeaway tubs, so that you will have to feed them from 'human' dishes and decide whether you can cope with washing them and using them again. I will also be burgling in the middle of the night, mid week, so your pets will be waiting for breakfast and you won't have time to go to the shops before they are fed.

Namerchangerextraordinaire · 19/07/2022 16:54

All the scissors in the house.
When they try to buy more scissors, they'll find you need a pair of scissors to open the packet the new scissors are in.

The return key, space bar & the e key on every keyboard.

MrsGamgee · 19/07/2022 17:03

The sellotape. They will get all their wrapping gear only to find out there's no bastarding sellotape.

Nothing more annoying (I speak from recent experience)
